Custom Validation in ActiveRecord

to activerecord rubyonrails validation by winton on Jul 22, 2006
// allows adding errors in methods other than validate

  def other_errors=(err)
    write_attribute(:other_errors,Array.new) if !self.other_errors
    self.other_errors[self.other_errors.length] = err
  end
	
  def other_errors
    read_attribute(:other_errors)
  end

  def validate
    if self.other_errors
      self.other_errors.each {|x| errors.add_to_base(x)}

create a rails app from rails trunk, optionally committing to a subversion repository

to ruby rails shell svn bash subversion rubyonrails by cch on Jul 12, 2006
I name this script railstrunk on my machine. So, usage would be:

railstrunk app_name


That creates a rails application under app_name.

If app_name is a subversion working copy, rails is set as an external and generated files are committed, and some ignore properties are set.

Here's how I'd go about creating a versioned rails app:

mkdir -p happy_app happy_app/trunk happy_app/tags happy_app/branches 
svn import happy_app http://myserver/myrepos/happy_app -m "Layout for happy_app"
rm -rf happy_app
svn co http://myserver/myrepos/happy_app/trunk happy_app
railstrunk happy_app


$rails_dir is set at the beginning of script, and it should be a path to a working copy of rails trunk on your machine. It's merely used to speed things up, it's not necessary.

Notice I remove the silly public/index.html from the generated app.

And now the code:

#!/bin/bash

rails_dir=~/code/ruby/rails

if [ $# != 1 ]; then
  echo "Usage: $0 app_name"
  echo
  echo "Creates a rails application under app_name."
  echo
  echo "If app_name is a subversion working copy, rails is set as an external"
  echo "and generated files are committed."
  echo
  echo "If $rails_dir exists, things are sped up by either symlinking it"
  echo "(for non-versioned apps) or copying it to the vendor dir."
  echo
  echo "$rails_dir should be a rails trunk working copy."
  exit
fi

dir=$1
mkdir -p $dir
cd $dir

if [ -n "`ls`" ]; then
  echo "Can't create app: $dir is not empty." >&2
  exit 1
fi

if [ -d $rails_dir ]; then
  if [ "`svn info $rails_dir 2>/dev/null | grep URL:`" != "URL: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk" ]; then
    echo "$rails_dir is not a rails trunk working copy. Not going to use it." >&2
  elif [ -n "`svn st $rails_dir`" ]; then
    echo "$rails_dir is modified. Not going to use it." >&2
  else
    use_rails_dir=1
  fi
fi

if [ -z "`svn info 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
  mkdir vendor
  if [ -n "$use_rails_dir" ]; then
    ln -s $rails_dir vendor/rails
    cd vendor/rails
    svn up
    cd ../..
  else
    svn co http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk vendor/rails
  fi
  ruby vendor/rails/railties/bin/rails .
  rm public/index.html
else
  svn mkdir vendor
  svn ps svn:externals 'rails http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk' vendor
  svn ci -m 'set rails external to rails trunk'
  [ -n "$use_rails_dir" ] && cp -r $rails_dir vendor/rails
  svn up
  ruby vendor/rails/railties/bin/rails .
  rm public/index.html
  rm log/*
  mv config/database.yml config/database.yml.sample
  svn add . --force
  svn ps svn:ignore '*' tmp/cache tmp/pids tmp/sessions tmp/sockets

ActiveRecord attribute calls interception

to activerecord rubyonrails by iwanttodeletemyaccount on Jul 03, 2006
I need to intercept attribute calls and add some additional info to them.

class ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.multilingual_field(fieldname)
    module_eval <<-end_eval
      def #{fieldname}
        send("#{fieldname}_\#{Locale.language.short_name}")
      end

      def #{fieldname}=(value)
        send("#{fieldname}_\#{Locale.language.short_name}=",value)
      end
    end_eval
  end
end

Default content-type in Rails

to rubyonrails encoding by iwanttodeletemyaccount on Jun 29, 2006 1 Comments
I always forget this.

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include AuthenticatedSystem
  
  before_filter :set_encoding
  
  private
    def set_encoding
      @headers["Content-type"] ||= "text/html; charset=utf8"
    end
end

Typo dispatch.fcgi

to rubyonrails by krsgoss on Feb 20, 2006 
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
#
# You may specify the path to the FastCGI crash log (a log of unhandled
# exceptions which forced the FastCGI instance to exit, great for debugging)
# and the number of requests to process before running garbage collection.
#
# By default, the FastCGI crash log is RAILS_ROOT/log/fastcgi.crash.log
# and the GC period is nil (turned off).  A reasonable number of requests
# could range from 10-100 depending on the memory footprint of your app.
#
# Example:
#   # Default log path, normal GC behavior.
#   RailsFCGIHandler.process!
#
#   # Default log path, 50 requests between GC.
#   RailsFCGIHandler.process! nil, 50
#
#   # Custom log path, normal GC behavior.
#   RailsFCGIHandler.process! '/var/log/myapp_fcgi_crash.log'
#
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment"
require 'fcgi_handler'
